Ichiro Japanese Restaurant
Steveston, where many Japanese Canadians live, is a harbour village with lots of fresh seafood available. ICHIRO JAPANESE RESTAURANT serves fresh seafood cuisine from Japan, all around Vancouver Island and the coast. We hope you enjoy our authentic Japanese food. How important is sashimi quality to us? Usually, many sushi restaurants only have regular freezers (kept up to -20C).

We keep frozen sashimi in a specialty freezer (kept at -60C). We are the only sushi restaurant in the Vancouver area that have this specialty appliance. We are committed to serve you fresh local ingredients such as sea urchin, sweet shrimp, oyster etc. Fresh fish and Wagyu beef transported directly from Japan.
Services
We are now looking to hire new staff to join our team! Ichiro Japanese Restaurant has served fresh seafood and traditional Japanese cuisine since 2006 in Steveston Village. We have been making an effort to introduce the wonders of Japanese cuisine and service to our community. As a result, we have won the first place award in the Japanese Restaurant section of our local newspaper for multiple years.

Highly recommend the poke bowl was very fresh and good sashimi. The combo with sushi could have had more sushi with it for the price.

Don't expect sauced up California rolls or a billion different special rolls. If you want good combination sets with simple yet carefully executed authentic sushi and other Japanese cuisine offerings this is a great place. They do have special rolls but the flavors are still delicate. Prices are reasonable for what you get.

This is our first time here. We live 10 minutes away. I highly recommend making reservations and bring your ID and proof of vaccinations because they will check. You are allowed to enjoy your visit for 90 minutes. First off I'd like to say from the phone call to the service, they had been professional, courteous and very respectful. We came in for a 6pm reservation. They sat us immediately. I believe not all tables have this option of ringing for service when you are ready. Smart. Second, the menu was quite full of variety and wonderful looking options. We ordered, prawn and assorted tempura, assorted

This place has consistently scored high among reviewers for good reason. Their food is fresh and delicious. They offer several combinations so that there is likely a combination that has all you crave. The service is great - the servers are all friendly and care about enforcing covid restrictions (including counting the number of people inside the restaurant). My only complaint is that it justifiably has too many customers that I wasn't able to get a table a few times I visited without a reservation. However, making a quick call ahead of time to make a reservation fixes this.

Ordered the premium course for 2. A tad of bit on the pricey end but still fairly priced and filling for two. Favorite dish was the appetizer tray, loved the Tamagoyaki with unagi and also the seared fish

Complicated menu.
Good selections though.
Standard service, standard food, for price.
Oyster motoyski should have more oyster ... not mushrooms...

(IG: KEVIFONG) I have been going to Ichiro for years now and they’ve maintained the same quality and service on every visit. Their prices are reasonable for authentic Japanese dishes. I highly recommend their set boxes for lunch or dinner, it features a large variety of different food in one.

Ichiro has been my favorite Japanese restaurant for over 13 years. Lots of memories for my family. The restaurant has changed. This is so SAD and DISAPPOINTING. Food is ridiculously pricy and mediocre. Small portions. The vibe is different. I hope it can restores its glory!!!
